Duchess black leather Chelsea boot by Thursday Boot Company. Women's size 9. Well-loved—there's a fair amount of scuffing at the toes, creasing of the leather, and some warping in the elastic panel on the right boot (see pics). That said, no breaking in period necessary, and they still have lots of life left! I resoled the heels a few years back when the original soles were worn down, and the new soles seem to be much sturdier. Very comfortable and classic silhouette!
